Not just red, but it could be yellow if sandal wood paste is used, it could be white if 'gopi chandan' - a sort of clay is used, or it could be ash. This is to honor the particular God that the person worships. Red may mean Mother Goddess Durga, ash could mean Shiva, and 'gopi chandan' is for Krishna. The shape of the mark also indicates the God. Three lines place horizontally indicate a worshiper of Shiva, and a 'U' means a worshiper of Lord Vishnu. Married women wear it in honor of their husbands.
